A Pulau Tekong site 40% the size of Sentosa could become an energy hub, EMA to study feasibility
The 200ha site could house hydrogen-ready natural gas-fired power plants, a liquefied natural gas terminal and other low-carbon energy technologies.
A 200-hectare reclaimed land site on Pulau Tekong, approximately 40% the size of Sentosa Island, is being considered for an energy infrastructure cluster. The Energy Market Authority (EMA) has issued a tender to appoint a consultant to develop a master plan for the proposed cluster, which could include hydrogen-ready natural gas-fired power plants, liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, and other low-carbon energy technologies.
The feasibility study is expected to take about two years and will be completed by mid-2027. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced in August that roughly 500ha of Pulau Tekong would be available for civilian use after meeting the needs of the Singapore Armed Forces. The government aims to assess potential land uses on Pulau Tekong while enhancing Singapore's energy security and supporting its energy transition.
